[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 89692, member: 337"] Magnetic antibacklash is nice. Adjust the brake by loosening it just until the lure drops by its own weight. Once the lure hits the ground the line should just barely birdsnest. If too much birds nest the brake is too loose. once brake adjusted you cast and quickly use your thumb to control distance of the lure. Overshoot your target then learn to apply thumb to start decelerating it as it arrives. You can literally point your rod to either side to subtly control left/right as it slows down but not much... Your initial cast dominates left/right travel to a great degree. Start out with a little too much brake and work your way to less and less (bigger risk of birds-nest with less brake). Casting into the ND wind is the toughest task. start with heavy lures first, then go lighter and lighter. 17 lb bright fluorescent mono would be best for learning. [/QUOTE]
